• ADDM for RAC – Oracle will incorporate RAC into the automatic database diagnostic monitor, for cross-node advisories.

• Oracle 11g RAC Grid provisioning - The Oracle grid control provisioning pack allows you to “blow-out” a RAC node without the time-consuming install, using a pre-installed “footprint”. Oracle 11g OEM has have easy server blade installs where a binary footprint is tar’ed to the server blade and configured, without a cumbersome install process.
  

• Hot patching - Zero downtime patch application.
  

• Data Guard - Standby snapshot – The new standby snapshot feature allows you to encapsulate a snapshot for regression testing. You can collect a standby snapshot and move it into your QA database, ensuring that your regression test uses real production data.
